May Elections
 
For those who are having this Local Election
as many are now in a one-year delay.
Due to Boundary Changes.

We don't have any in our area but if you do are you going to vote?

How well will Labour do given they have attacked

Pensioners
Disabled
Women
Farmers
have I forgotten anyone? :laugh:

Ours have been cancelled. The crafty bastards denying us our right to vote. Our MP is CRAP.

bots 20-04-2025 11:11 AM

i expect reform to do really well. The interesting thing will be if the tories manage to get anyone back or if it's still too early for that

Cherie 20-04-2025 11:11 AM

The Poll is private so you wont be attacked for your choice :laugh:

Yeah I am expecting a huge gain for Reform if only to give Labour a bloody nose....

bots 20-04-2025 11:13 AM

What was the reason for the cancellation?, the local elections are for Councillers, sadly you are stuck with your MP for another 4 years

Oh yeah Cherie. Sorry I meant councillor.
I don't know the reason?

Kate! 20-04-2025 11:18 AM

The true reason will be that the cowardly labour party don't want to get trounced.

They'll have given some trumped up reason for cancelling our right to vote

No that's not True
Delayed for a year.


Typical of Cherie to not mention the Year Delay

I'm not sure - it won't be based on the national parties, it will be based on
A) who's got the best policies and ideas for local issues
B) who actually knocks on the door - three of the "Big Five" have been lazy sods over the school hols, and just shoved their propaganda through the door without even knocking, why should I give them my vote if they can't be bothered to doorstep me?

That's the same thing. It still denies us our right to vote NOW.

joeysteele 20-04-2025 11:21 AM

There's none where I live.
So I can opt out of this one.

They're restructuring local government authorities in some areas to cut the number of them so it's probably to do with that

MTVN 20-04-2025 11:36 AM

We only have a mayoral election for the West of England

It's quite close but the Greens are the favourites atm :rolleyes: could go to any party though - Arron Banks is the Reform candidate

The Tories did very well in these elections last time they were contested in 2021 so they'll probably struggle this time

He's just been endorsed by Marco Pierre White so it's a strange timeline we're in

I usually read the manifestos and make a decision off that. Same with General Elections. I’ve voted in four general elections and across those have voted for 3 different parties (Lib Dem, Conservatives, Conservatives, Labour) for various reasons.

However it will never be Green or Reform.

Never voted Conservative, have voted Labour Lib Dem and Independent, last time out spoiled my vote as I didn't want to not exercise my right... so glad I did I couldn't back any of the current parties, all shite
